Former Governor of Oyo State, Dr VictorOmololu Olunloyo and father ofcontroversial social media critic, KemiOlunloyo has allegedly denounced hisdaughter's social media escapades andrants.

In a letter made available to PremiumTimes, the former governor is quoted assaying, "I would like to apologisewithout reservation to all personsaffected. I hope and pray they wouldgraciously accept the apology".

Olunloyo was also said to have revealedthat Kemi has been dealing with mentalillness. He noted that Kemi's "erratic"behaviour "had put her in trouble inIreland and in the United States, andthe late Ooni of Ife, Okunade Sijuwade,once bailed her out of jail." He went onto apologize to Pastor Adeboye, TBJoshua, Jide Kosoko, Tunde Kelani, andmore who had been affected by Kemi'sactivities.

This latest development is coming onthe heels of Kemi disclosing toNigerians that she plans to quitjournalism in Nigeria and focus on herkids foundation. The popular bloggeralso took time out to apologize to allthe celebrities she had attacked onlinewithout giving any hints as to thereason behind her change of heart.

Here's what Mr Olunloyo reportedlywrote to Premium Times:

I would like to apologise withoutreservation to all persons affected. Ihope and pray they would graciouslyaccept the apology.

"There seems to be a curious pair ofwriters, an Aboderin resident in Irelandand Kemi Olunloyo, who sometimescuriously act separately and sometimesin union. Some of their mostunfortunate victims are their halfsiblings.

[Kemi Olunloyo] includes me, herfather. All four of us she dubs ritualists.Of course, none of us, as far as I know,is anything of sort. She has gone so faras to accuse us of various sexual crimesand gone too far to give social mediaitself a very dubious name, in term ofuncontrolled freedom to assault others.

Late, in the last four weeks or so, shehad had the audacity to pass irrelevantand hopeless comments on one of ournational talented artists, prince JideKosoko, whom I admire so much, callinghim a black widower as he hasunfortunately lost three wives.

I had thought at 52, Kemi will furthertrain her mind and cease to be anembarrassment to herself and memberof her nuclear, extended family and tothe general public. I thank pastors andpsychiatrists like Dr. Lasebikan, whohad gone to great lengths at their ownpersonal cost to restrain her fromexcesses and recklessness. I dissociatemyself entirely form her conducts andstatements.

She must accept responsibility for heractions and utterances as well as theconsequences. My condemnation istotal and not in any instancedefensible. My position is absolutelyclear. She has gone too far andneedlessly so."
